request a transfer of a
maximum of 12 credit hours
of required courses from any
institution, including IU

Education graduate degree
programs. Each program in
the School of Education may
further limit the number of

by the program coordinator
or a designee. All courses
transferred into graduate

Any
graduate student may choose
to be evaluated on a

summer session by processing
the prescribed request in
the Education Student
Services Office. This
election is not reversible.
Application for Graduate
Degree
An
application for a degree
must be completed and filed
six months before the degree
is to be granted. The
application is to be filed
in the Education Student
Services Office. Failure to
file this application by the
proper deadline may result
in failure to graduate at
the expected time. The
responsibility for checking
degree requirements rests
with the student.
Retention in Graduate
Study
•
Students failing to
maintain a B (3.0)
average in all work
taken after the
bachelor’s degree will
be placed on academic
probation and so
notified. If a student
fails to remove the
probationary status
during the next
enrollment period, the
privilege of continuing
in the School of
Education may be denied.
Students who have been
dismissed from the
School of Education are
not eligible for
recommendation for
teaching or other
licenses. Students who
have been dismissed may
appeal to the office of
the dean if there are
extenuating
circumstances that may
not have been
considered.
• A
student who has been
admitted to the School
of Education but denied
admission to a
particular program may
not take any further
work in that area of
study unless the program
agrees to the continued
work.
• All
work must be completed
within six calendar
years from the date of
the receipt of a grade
in the first course that
is to be used toward the
degree.
• All
graduate students are
expected to abide by all
specific program
policies. In addition to
academic performance, IU
South Bend's graduate
students will be
evaluated on the basis
of their professional
conduct and
dispositions.
Unsatisfactory
professional conduct or
unprofessional
dispositions observed on
the part of a graduate
student in the School of
Education in classes at
IU South Bend or in
field or clinical
experiences, may result
in that student's
dismissal from the
graduate program.
Dispositions will be
assessed as part of the
Unit Assessment System.
Also, a Letter of
Concern will serve as
documentation of
concerns related to
professional conduct or
dispositions. School of
Education procedures
will be followed when
documenting concerns
about dispositions with
a letter of concern.
Letter of Concern
procedures are described
in detail in this
Campus Bulletin on
page 86.
NOTE:
Electronic mail (e-mail) is
the official means of
communication with students
at IU South Bend. A
student’s failure to receive
or read official university
communications sent to the
student’s official e-mail
address does not absolve the
student from knowing and
complying with the content
of the official
communication. It is
recommended that students
check e-mail messages at
least once a day. Students
will be made aware of
program changes via e-mail
sent to their university
address.
Counseling and Human
Services
The IU
South Bend Counseling and
Human Services Program
provides quality
professional education to
graduate students seeking
counseling careers in
education, mental health
services, business, and
community or government
agencies. The curriculum
provides theoretical courses
and supervised professional
experiences. Internship
experiences are also offered
for those seeking state
licensure.
Students
enrolled in the program come
from a variety of
undergraduate backgrounds,
with the majority of
students being employed full
time while attending
graduate school. Students
may choose from the
community or school
counseling tracks.
Counseling graduates
successfully serve in
institutions of higher
education, in area personnel
departments, in
administrative positions in
social agencies, as well as
counsel in public and
private counseling agencies.
Graduates in school
counseling are prepared to
serve grades K-12 and have
found jobs in area schools.
